Try running BULDACCT just before you invoke SYSGEN.  BULDACCT will create
two files: BULDJOB1 and BULDJOB2; the first recreates accounting structure
while the second sets UDCs.
 
To recover you would do an INSTALL (which would create a SYS account),
restore BULDJOB1 and stream it (which would build the rest of the accounting
structure), restore all the files, then stream BULDJOB2 to set all the UDCs.
